Except that’s not at all a judge’s responsibility. A judge is an umpire. Their job is to call balls and strikes, not make managerial decisions for one or both teams.

I agree that being “more comfortable just calling Rick or Susan” is very possibly shorthand for a raft of deeper issues, but regardless, Yes, we definitely saw improvement in the metrics and in junior associates’ feedback for each of the following 4 quarters (after which I left the firm).  Pretty likely that just…

Wait, really? I totally forgot that.

Even if that’s not why he was fired, that sounds a bizarely anti-child workplace. I’ve worked with adamantly childfree and chatty child-having people, and even if they bitched behind each other’s backs about their different choices, they were always decent humans to their face.  What the hell are these comments?  What…

I felt she shined more in digital shorts than live comedy.  The naked and afraid with Peter Dinklage was hilarious and all her segments with Kyle and Colin always worked for me. 

But you don’t have to fire someone just because they violated their contract. That’s an inane adherence to technicality.
